Take a look at the rifling and let us know what you see.

I think the Stevens Pope rifling on a .22 Krag will be identical to that on his other lead bullet rifles, while that on the .30-40 barrels is right hand twist (which is then carried to all I've seen in smokeless cartridge barrels).

At the Vegas show in January, Tom Rowe guessed the long awaited Pope books (two volumes) will be released around May 1, so we're finally getting close to having a much broader knowledge base available to us!
